Chapter 174: No Obligation to Educate Your Children

College students receive subsidies every month. On weekends, Lu Mingfeng and his family go to the Shen family.

Gu Siyuan took the subsidy money and bought spare ribs, herring, and rooster, saying that he wanted to honor his parents.

He Guizhen saw that Gu Siyuan bought so many things and felt sorry for him spending money indiscriminately.

Gu Siyuan smiled and said, "Mom, I have money. Please give me a chance to honor you."

Shen Qingshan said, "Take some time to visit your grandfather. I heard that something happened to the Gu family. You should go and comfort them."

Gu Siyuan asked, "What happened? I have been busy studying recently and neglected it. I will visit Grandpa in the afternoon."

"It is said that the child gambled and lost a lot of money, and the debt collectors came to their door."

He Guizhen said, "The Gu family is well-off, so losing some money should not be a big deal."

Shen Qingshan said, "I heard that the loss was quite a lot, and the Gu family even went out to borrow money to pay off the debt."

He Guizhen still couldn't believe it: "How much money could a half-grown child lose? Could it be that the Gu family deliberately put on an act to make the child remember it?"

Gu Siyuan said, "Mischief does not discriminate between ages. If a child starts a fire while playing at home, the house can still be reduced to ashes."

Shen Qingshan felt that if a family had such a sensible and excellent child, it would be a great honor for their ancestors. Gu Zhengyuan even regarded Siyuan as his stain.

Fortunately, Grandpa Gu still cared about Siyuan.

When cooking, He Guizhen did not kill the big rooster, saying that she would let Gu Siyuan take it to the Gu family later.

...

After paying off the debt, the living standard of the Gu family dropped a lot.

All along, the family has been subsidized by Grandpa Gu, and Gu Zhengyuan and his wife do not have to pay for daily expenses.

Now, all of Grandpa Gu’s savings and property have been taken out, and there is no money left.

They also borrowed foreign debts, and future wages will have to be used to pay off debts.

Gu Chengze looked at the only plate of vegetables on the table and was unwilling to eat.

Gu Zhengyuan slapped his chopsticks and said, "If you don't want to eat, go back to school! Why has our family become like this? It's all your fault, and you're still nitpicking!"

Gu Chengze wanted to get up and leave, but An Li grabbed his clothes.

Since returning to the Gu family, Gu Zhengyuan has not mentioned divorce again, and she never mentioned it either.

When paying off the debt, An's mother gave her 300 yuan and hinted that she should not come back often unless necessary.

She no longer dared to be like before, often getting angry with Gu Zhengyuan, and could only go along with him in everything.

After dinner, An Li cleaned up the dishes and saw Gu Siyuan coming in with a big rooster.

Gu Chengze stared at the big rooster and said happily, "Mom, I want to eat chicken tonight."

An Li was worried that her son would be in stark contrast with Gu Siyuan at home, and her husband would think that her son was too bad, so she told him to go to school quickly.

Gu Siyuan did not greet Gu Zhengyuan and An Li as he did in the past, and went directly to Grandpa Gu's room with the big rooster.

An Li wanted to say that Gu Siyuan was impolite, but when she saw that her husband did not say a word, she chose to keep silent.

Grandpa Gu saw that his grandson came to visit him, and the haze that had been gloomy for many days was swept away.

"Siyuan is here. Have you been busy with studies recently?"

"Yes, I went to my parents' place on the weekend. Dad told me that something happened in the Gu family. Is it serious?"

Grandpa Gu felt very uncomfortable when he heard his grandson addressing other people's parents so affectionately. He said, "It's been resolved." "

Grandpa has lost a lot of weight. He must have been worried about you. Dad asked me to buy a chicken. I stewed chicken soup for Grandpa to replenish his body."

Gu Siyuan was going to kill a chicken, and Grandpa Gu asked him to talk to him.

Gu Siyuan went to the kitchen to boil water and kill a chicken. He moved a chair for Grandpa Gu to sit next to him and talked about his school affairs.

Grandpa Gu was very pleased to hear that his grandson was doing well in school.

The chicken soup was simmering in the pot, and Gu Siyuan kept talking to Grandpa Gu.

In the room, An Li smelled the aroma of chicken and swallowed her saliva.

There had been no meat in the house for several days, and there was a difference between not wanting to eat and not being able to eat.

Even though she didn't like meat normally, she was a little greedy.

She thought that it was impossible for Grandpa to eat all the chicken, so she could still eat a little.

The chicken soup was ready, and Gu Siyuan served a bowl of chicken soup to Grandpa Gu, and broke off a chicken leg.

Grandpa Gu tasted the chicken soup happily, praised Gu Siyuan's cooking skills, and asked him to eat too.

"I've had dinner, you eat, Grandpa."

It was also because he had been hungry recently, and Gu Siyuan came to visit, so Grandpa Gu was happy. Even though he had just finished his meal, he still drank a bowl of chicken soup and ate two chicken legs.

...

In the evening, An Li served a bowl of chicken soup for the chicken cooked by Gu Siyuan, chopped the chicken into pieces, and stewed it with potatoes.

While Gu Chengze was eating, he searched in the plate.

Gu Zhengyuan said coldly: "Can you eat properly!"

Gu Chengze asked: "Where are the chicken legs? Why is there not a single chicken leg? Did Gu Siyuan eat them?"

Grandpa Gu put down the chicken soup in his bowl and said: "Don't look for them, I ate the chicken legs."

An Li picked up a chicken wing and put it in her son's bowl: "Chicken wings are also delicious."

Gu Chengze lowered his head to eat, not daring to say anything.

Gu Zhengyuan looked at his son's useless appearance, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The chicken meat didn't taste good anymore.

...

Gu Siyuan felt that his attitude was already very clear. In the Gu family, he was only close to Grandpa Gu.

Seeing Gu Zhengyuan at the school gate, Gu Siyuan asked Shen Jiale not to stop and ride over directly.

However, Gu Zhengyuan stopped him.

Shen Jiale shook his head at Gu Siyuan, signaling him to stop.

Gu Siyuan stopped and said nothing.

Gu Zhengyuan came over and said, "In consideration of the living expenses I sent you before, can you go back to Gu's house every weekend?"

Gu Siyuan said, "I will visit Grandpa when I have time."

Gu Zhengyuan seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know how to start. Seeing that Gu Siyuan was about to leave, he quickly said, "I want you to help Chengze with his homework."

Gu Siyuan laughed, "You let me help him with his homework, aren't you afraid that he will rebel again and do something outrageous?"

Gu Zhengyuan knew that his son would definitely not be willing to accept Gu Siyuan's tutoring, but he still held on to hope that Gu Siyuan would find a way to get Chengze to accept his tutoring.

Gu Siyuan thought for a while and said, "I know."

Gu Zhengyuan thought that Gu Siyuan agreed, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

Unexpectedly, Gu Siyuan continued, "I will give you a sum of money every month until you pay me back the money you gave me."

Gu Zhengyuan explained, "I'm not asking you for money. I just want Chengze to study hard with you and become as good as you."

Gu Siyuan said calmly, "I have no obligation to educate your child for you."

"He is your..."

"No, he is just your son. He has nothing to do with me. The same goes for you. Don't come to me again in the future. I don't have time to clarify for you."
